hi

i was aking Revisioning Guy , what was the exact difference between their module and Workbench module and below is an answer i received :

Revisioning was first.
Suggest you ask the Workbench guys why they felt another module was needed.

Can somebody explain me more please?

thanks

Having spent many frustrating hours trying to understand the answer to this question (and more), I would say the fundamental difference between Revisioning and Workbench (and indeed Workflow) is that Revisioning does not provide the ability to define states and manage transitions between them. It just extends the core ideas of not-published/published and the creation of new revisions.

Supposedly Revisioning and Workflow work together... except where it appears they do not (example: I could not prevent a content-creator from editing the node and making more revisions after they have changed its workflow state to "please review this" for the attention of a content-approver).

There are many more differences I'm sure; there may even be solutions to the apparent shortcomings I've found. But I'm now going to try Workbench.

The historic answer is:

* Because to provide the base functionality in Workbench, Workbench Access, and Workbench Moderation in Drupal 6, you had to install 12 - 20 modules.

* Those modules used different UI, even different names for things.

* Workbench consolidates all that into three consistent modules that hit common use cases.

hi agentrickard thanks

But today Workflow has seriously grown up .. and extended it to other's entity (user, profiles. taxonomy...) which is wonderfull ..
Can't we say workflow looks(not easy like workbench ) but better in functionalities?

Hi @delacosta456 - I went with workbench and workbench moderation as the closest (though not exact) fit to our requirements.
